The International Quran News Agency (IQNA) is the first and only specialized
Quran news agency in the Islamic world.

It was inaugurated on the 15th of Ramadan, 1424, (November
11, 2003) during a ceremony attended bythe then president of the
Islamic Republic of Iran.

The news agency
started its activity by publishing 7 news items in Persian every day and now,
12 years on, with the blessings of God, is producing 850 daily news items in
17 languages. The number of the news items so far produced has exceeded
1,300,000.

Bringing Quranic and religious news and
reports accurately and promptly to its Iranian and foreign audiences

·
Making endeavors for realization of the
Quranic culture in Islamic Iran and elsewhere in the world

·
Promoting the Quranic style of life in

Since IQNA’s mission
is to disseminate the Quranic culture in different social, political,
cultural, arts, economic, literary, … fields, the news agency’s news desks
have been formed on the basis of the need of its audience.

Moreover, IQNA’s
Honorary Correspondents section was established in 2004 with the purpose of
better covering Quranic and religious news. Currently, IQNA has more than
7000 registered honorary correspondents. On average, they send some 120
reports daily.

In addition to the above-mentioned
activities, the International Quran News Agency (IQNA) organizes expert
forums, publishes the Rayaheh Quranic magazine, and holds or cooperates in
holding Quranic forums and conferences.
